Untwisting Software Process

Caption

These four images show the step by step process the computer program goes through to the "untwist" a worm image. First, (Image D) the computer identifies the cells to track. Then (Image E) the computer begins to create a lattice that traces the shape of the worm. Once the computer has traced the lattice, it can create a 3D model of the worm embryo (Image F). Finally, it can untwist the model (Image G).
